Chapter Eighty-Eight: Exhaustion
"Isn't classmate Zhou dedicated to cultivation, why did he suddenly raise small animals?"
After talking about business, Zheng Qian turned his attention to the most curious place, pointed to the little yellow dog that was sleeping heavily, and asked Zhou Shang, "But lonely?" It just so happens that I know a lot of good girls in the show! β
As he spoke, his professional instinct moved, Zheng Qian patted his chest and swore an oath: "Listen to Zheng Fu, you didn't like the little lady introduced at the end of the year, but you have a look in your heart, what kind of person you like, you can definitely help you find your favorite!" β
"No need, I still prefer to practice, and raising a dog is not lonely, but for research!"
After adjusting the sleeping position of the little yellow dog, Zhou Shang explained: "Before, Brother Gua said that if you want to refine a pill with characteristics, ordinary herbs are not enough. Only herbs that have been rejuvenated have a chance. At that time, I was thinking, everything in the world is extraordinary, and the so-called spiritual things are not animals with living organs! β
"This idea sounds... That's right. β
Zheng Qian, who didn't know what expression to respond with for a while, could only continue to ask: "So you raise animals just to cultivate spiritual things?" β
"Isn't this an attempt to validate an idea?"
Zhou Shang said, then gently picked up the sleeping puppy and said, "Let's just say that dogs are animals, and their sense of smell is more than a thousand times that of humans." The nose is the gateway to the lungs, and this should be regarded as a kind of lung vein divine treasure, if it can be revitalized and sublimated, there may be other miracles. β
"Somewhat."
Zheng Qian's expression became even stranger, and he looked Zhou Shang up and down: "What else?" β
"That's a lot."
Zhou Shang put down the puppy in his arms and said casually: "Snakes can sense heat images, cats can see at night, cows have four stomachs, honey badgers are not afraid of snake venom, and birds digest food very quickly...... There are too many, and I feel that many animals' specialties are the germ of transcendent spirits, but it's a pity..."
"What a pity?"
Zheng Qian asked quietly.
"It's a pity that there are no successful cases yet, so I don't know if I can do it."
Zhou Shang was holding the puppy in his arms, and said helplessly to Zheng Qian: "During this time, when I was cultivating in the mountains, I caught a lot of animals, and according to the extraordinary organs of the animals, I tried to use Yuan Qi with different attributes to revitalize, and the result can only be said to be ...... It's tragic. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Shang shook his head, "An excessively pure Yuan Qi will directly shred the organs of animals, and even a less pure Yuan Qi will hurt them." At first, I thought it was a matter of Yuan Qi's weight, but even if it was just a trace, it still hurt a lot. β
Later, I thought it was a problem of method, but even if the theory of the Five Elements Shengke was used, the situation did not get better. Therefore, I suspect that the Yuan Qi refined by humans may not be directly used to refine the organs of live animals. β
"Actually, it's also reasonable, even if it's the same Yuan Qi refined by a human cultivator, there will be a rejection reaction when they are transmitted to each other. So I wondered if I could let the little animal try to practice by spitting out Yuan Qi on its own. β
"But the intelligence of small animals is too low, and it is too difficult to achieve regular breathing, and the structure of animal meridians and body structure is also very different from the human body."
"So I thought about whether I could choose that kind of smart little animal, and then guide it from an early age, so I raised this little yellow, but as far as the current situation is concerned, even if the dog grows up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
"The theory should be fine, but the research progress is really difficult, it is likely that there are too few samples now, plus the realm is not enough, and the understanding of Yuan Qi is not deep enough. So take your time, even if it's the stupidest way to make a mistake little by little. β
Zhou Shang lifted the sleeping puppy with a little regret, but looking at the little guy's chubby appearance, he couldn't help but feel joy, nodded and approved: "Although it didn't work out for the time being, this puppy is still quite cute, and it should be good to grow up and take care of the home!" β
After quietly listening to Zhou Shang's words, Zheng Qian smiled, "I think the direction is very correct, and I will definitely succeed in the future!" β
"Thank you Zheng for your encouragement, I also said the same thing when Guagoka was in the characteristics of the elixir."
Zhou Shang put Xiao Huang back on his lap and said in a harmonious voice: "Although Brother Gua hasn't figured out the characteristics yet, at least he has a head and hope." As long as there is still a possibility in front of you, as long as you keep going, you will definitely be able to go to a bright future. β
"yes."
Reaching out and touching the little yellow dog's head, Zheng Qian said seriously: "As long as you move forward, you will definitely be able to go to a bright future!" β
β¦β¦
Today's Qiankun Commercial Houses are very different.
Speaking of influence alone, I still remember two years ago, when Qiankun Commercial Bank first came to Yongning.
That's a grandmother who doesn't kiss and uncle who doesn't love it.
There are no profitable projects, no industry, except for the two people who have been recruited for half a year, and they can't even recruit a cultivator.
The application to join the Yongning Business Alliance was lost, and people were not willing to take Zheng Qian to play at all.
But now, as the actual controller of the largest market in Yongning Prefecture, he has a large market town with a population of tens of thousands and the number of people is still growing.
The influence of the Qiankun Commercial House has long been extraordinary, and it has left the Five Emperors Dojo.
It only took Zheng Qian three days to spread the news of the dojo's recruitment to the entire Qiankun Collection and Xicheng.
As a dojo with only one teaching, Zhou Shang thought that it was reasonable to accommodate 500 students at the same time in the barn field, so the scale of the Five Emperors Dojo this time was set at 300.
Why is it three hundred, because there are still more than 70 places, and the Qiankun Commercial Bank will digest it internally.
Unlike the last time he taught the secret method, he had to pass through the realm of the Great Zhou Tian.
This time, the recruitment of new people in the Daoist Hall is directly aimed at all cultivators above the Tongmai Xiao Zhoutian, and there is no need to be branded as a Qiankun firm.
Such a good deed naturally attracted the enthusiasm of the Yongning cultivators, who waved their money bags and asked to join the Qiankun Trading House.
Thinking back to more than a year ago, Zhou Shang was still worried about the daily food expenses, but this is only a little bit of effort.
The income of the Five Emperors Dojo has reached 250,000 yuan per month, truly reaching the income level of the top dojo in Yongning.

Five Emperors Dojo, Medicine Garden
Compared with the difficulty of the research of spiritual objects on Zhou Shang's side, the rejuvenating herbs in Wang Gua were very smooth.
Perhaps because of the mild nature of Pei Yuan's herbs, they all reacted to the Five Elements Yuan Qi to varying degrees.
And with the control of Wang Gua's Yuan Qi, it didn't take much effort to find five specific Yuan Qi.
The seedlings of five kinds of peiyuan grass have been revitalized.
To facilitate observation and detection.
This person directly converted the five acres of gardens not far from his residence into a medicine garden, and planted five kinds of medicinal seedlings respectively.
The successful case of Pei Yuan Cao's revitalization has greatly increased the confidence of Wang Gua, although the rejuvenating herb has not yet grown, but this one has also begun to operate, and the revitalization experiment of fairy thatch grass and intermittent flowers has been completed.
"It's easy!"
At the beginning, the large cafeteria built on the scale of 1,000 people, even if there were 500 students at this time, still seemed empty.
The corner where Zhou Shang usually eats is rarely disturbed, which has also become the most common place for the two to communicate.
As usual, when Wang Gua saw Zhou Shang, he began to share the joy of the recent days, and when he finished talking about the situation of the medicinal seedlings, he asked Zhou Shang about the progress of the spiritual object.
"Not very optimistic."
After eating, Zhou Shang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Animals follow their instincts to live, even if they are trained, they can only be induced based on fundamental desires, and it is too difficult to make them maintain a regular long-term spit." β
"Normal, the species that can sublimate the sexual spirit have already sublimated, and those who can't sublimate the sexual spirit must be, it is obviously no fun to evolve by instinct."
Wang Gua thought for a while, touched his chin and said, "Do you want to change your thinking?" β
"Think differently..."
Zhou Shang was stunned, "Where to change?" β
"Look at Ang, no matter how the spirit is, the spirit itself is very stupid, eat and sleep, sleep and eat!"
As soon as he mentioned this kind of some and not, Wang Gua was very energetic, and his eyebrows danced: "Then why are some species sublimated in the slow river of time, and some just can't be sublimated?" β
"Why?"
Some Zhou Shang, who couldn't keep up with Wang Gua's train of thought, asked.
"I think it has a lot to do with what you eat and how you sleep!"
Wang Gua pointed to the little yellow dog at Zhou Shang's feet, "I have seen a kind of spirit crane, they will stand on one leg when they sleep, haven't you practiced the guidance of five birds, you should know that the essence of the crane shape is to imitate the movements of this kind of crane." β
"These species walk, sit and lie down, secretly merge with the heaven and earth Yuan Qi, and it produces the effect of nourishing the Yuan Qi, and with the passage of time, the spirit slowly sublimates. But a species like pigs and dogs, walking, sitting and lying has nothing to do with Yuan Qi, so if you want to sublimate your sexual spirit, it is naturally difficult. β
"Since the nature of walking, sitting and lying is unthinkable, then can we start with eating!"
Wang Gua's eyes were blazing: "Do you think feeding animals that kind of herbs full of Yuan Qi will cause trouble?" β
Although Zhou Shang already knew that Wang Gua's thinking was alive and well, it was still a little surprising that he could jump out like that.
This idea has indeed found a new way forward for the study of spiritual objects that have reached a dead end.
And this new perspective of looking at the problem also made Zhou Shang figure out a lot of things, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
"Listening to Brother Gua say this, I vaguely understand!"
Zhou Shang's eyes lit up: "Why it was so easy for us to revitalize rice seeds before, it may not be because we are strong, but because the life of plants and trees is relatively easy to transform into Yuan Qi." β
"If you want to calculate it this way, according to the order of the transformation of heaven and earth Yuan Qi, the most easily contaminated by Yuan Qi is grass and trees, so the species that feed on plants and grains should have the highest probability of survival."
"Didn't we just harvest the live rice seeds, that kind of rice should be considered a food with a high content of Yuan Qi, we can build some poultry houses and pig houses, and use this rice to feed the chickens and pigs!"
Wang Gua nodded again and again when he heard this, and put forward another idea: "In addition to revitalizing rice seeds, can you also use some medicinal herbs, I think it should be a very good attempt to feed with Peiyuan grass." β
β¦β¦
In the cafeteria, Zhou Shang and Wang Gua worked hard for a bright future.
Outside, the partners who revitalize rice seeds are a few happy and a few sad.
The caravans of the five families went to various state capitals and towns to solicit orders, and they all walked through familiar business routes, and they were all former friends.
Generally speaking, this kind of business is quite smooth.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong.
On this day, Liang Chaotang, the two heads of the same year and Mi, hurriedly came to the Vientiane hypermarket and found Zheng Qian.
"Boss Zheng, something happened!"
Liang Chaotang said anxiously: "Our merchant ship was detained when it passed through Chujiang City, and seventy percent of the goods were paid. The people of the Min family in Chujiang City also let out the words, in the future, if our Yongning ship wants to pass through the port of Chujiang, it must pay seventy percent of the tax! β
"Seventy percent of the tax?"
Zheng Qian was stunned: "Is it so expensive to take the waterway?" β
"The Min family is a merchant who is clearly targeting our Yongning City!"
The head of the Mi family said indignantly: "Chujiang City guards the main road of Chujiang, and through this port, merchant ships must pass through Chujiang City. It was okay before, but since the super product of the Daoyuan Sect came to Yongning twenty years ago, the Min family has become more and more excessive, and the tax is four or five percent. This time, the seventy percent tax is just a pretense, and the other party is here for the secret technique of revitalizing rice seeds! β
"That's right, Boss Zheng, this Chujiang Min family is amazing, it is said that his ancestor is a disciple of the thirteen ancestral lineages of the Daoyuan Sect, and his descendants have been in Chujiang City for hundreds of years, with more than 10,000 clansmen, many masters, and several top-grade marrow-washing."
When the head of the Nian family mentioned the Min family, his body trembled, but he still said strongly: "Before, there was the name of the Shang Alliance in front, and the Min family may still be a little afraid, but now that we have broken with the Shang Alliance, the Min family has no scruples." Boss Zheng, if you have any back-up, use it quickly. Otherwise, as soon as the top master of the Min family arrives, we will all be finished! β
"The three heads of the family don't need to be so alarmed."
Zheng Qian smiled and comforted: "The price is all over the place to sit on the ground and pay back, the Min family detains the fleet, and the seventy percent tax is issued, obviously the drunkard does not mean to drink, instead of us guessing here, it is better to take a trip to Chujiang City and ask the Min family master what he thinks....."
"Oh, Boss Zheng, why are you so naΓ―ve!"
When Liang Chaotang heard this, he only felt a toothache: "The Min family's arrogance and domineering are well-known in Yongning Prefecture, if they can be reasonable, why did they save so much of their family business!" It's too late for us to hide, so we take the initiative to get in, isn't that self-defeating? β
"The waterway of the Chu River is the most important transportation channel in Yongning Prefecture."
Zheng Qian smiled and said: "As long as we want to do the business of the world's granary, we have to deal with the Min family after all, although the time is early, but at least there is no direct conflict of interest." β
"In this way, if the three family heads are worried about the danger, why don't they sit in Yongning, let Zheng act as a messenger, and take a trip to Chujiang City?"
When the three of them heard Zheng Qian's words, they looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
The next day, Zheng Qian drove lightly and set off for Chujiang City.
Returning three days later, Liang Chaotang and the others returned as soon as they heard the news.
"How about Boss Zheng, what did the head of the Min family say?"
"The head of the Min family said that in the future, merchant ships with the banner of the Qiankun Commercial Bank will no longer have to pay taxes when they cross the Chu River."
"How did Boss Zheng convince the Min family master to make such a big concession!?"
"In exchange for [revitalizing rice seeds]."
